5.2. Connections
WPNETTOUCH has 2 connectors available for the EclerNet operation. Both are located
behind the rear panel connections plastic cover, fixed to the WPNETTOUCH unit back
panel with 2 screws:
 DC Power: round jack for connection to the universal power supply provided
with the product, 12 VDC, 2A
 Ethernet Port: RJ45 connector of the unit's network communication interface, as
well as PoE DC supply compatible, in case the network switch is able to provide
PoE (Power over Ethernet) to it. It can be directly connected (point to point) to a
single EclerNet device, for its direct and exclusive control, or to an Ethernet
switch port belonging to the network the rest of the EclerNet devices of the
installation are connected to. The connecting cable can be a standard or
crossover CAT5 or higher cable.
6. OPERATION
From EclerNet Manager application, it’s possible to create remote control panels for the
system (UCPs) to manage one or more MIMO4040DN, MIMO88, MIMO88SG,
MIMO1212SG, NXA, DUO-NET PLAYER, etc. units in a networked installation. Each panel
can consist of one or more pages that include graphics, text, volume controls, buttons, VU
meters, LED indicators, and so on. In this way each remote user may have his own control
panel(s) custom tailored to his needs and privileges, and in one system, very simple
control panels for some users can coexist with others, more complex and having higher
levels of authorization.
Once the UCPs are created, included in an EclerNet project, the network needs a web
server for the potential web clients that will control the installation thanks to the UCPs
they can recall from the web server, locally visualized and managed. The web server can
be one of these types of devices:

A WPNETTOUCH unit running the EclerNet project previously created with the
EclerNet Manager application
 A WPmSCREEN unit running the EclerNet project previously created with the
EclerNet Manager application
 A MIMO4040DN matrix running the EclerNet project previously created with the
EclerNet Manager application (yes, the MIMO4040DN does include project &
UCP webserver features in its engine!)
 A Windows® PC running the created EclerNet Manager project in "Deploy"
mode
